Some folks may have gotten used to saying Westfield, but the name once again is Belden Village Mall.

Large red and white banners bearing the new name went up Monday covering signs that used to read Westfield.

The change marks completion of the mall's sale by Westfield Group to the Starwood Capital Group, a large Connecticut-based investment company. Starwood bought Belden Village and six other shopping malls around the country for $1.64 billion. The deal was announced in September.

Starwood is placing the properties with the Starwood Retail Partners operation that it formed in 2012 after buying seven other Westfield properties. Scott Wolstein, former top executive at Cleveland-based Developers Diversified Realty, is chief executive officer for Starwood Retail.

Under the agreement, Westfield holds a 10-percent interest in the seven properties it sold to Starwood.

Management teams at Belden Village and the other malls will continue to operate the properties, Starwood officials said in a news release.

Belden Village Mall is a focal point of the regional shopping mecca that has developed around it during the past 43 years. The mall's name was changed after Westfield, based in Sydney, Australia, bought the property. Starwood plans to bring back the old name.

The mall's sale does affect some of the gift cards once sold there.

According to its website, Belden Village Mall no longer will sell Westfield or other mall-wide gift cards. Mall stores that accept American Express will continue to redeem Westfield gift cards.

It's the second time that Starwood has purchased properties from Westfield. A June 2012 deal led to the formation of Starwood Retail Partners after Westfield sold seven properties to Starwood.

Starwood Retail Partners now manages 19 regional malls and retail centers around the country. The company has spent more than $3.2 billion to acquire the properties.
